Communicating with, and completing records for individuals in a care setting
Unit summary
Good communication skills are particularly important in care settings where individuals may be unable to communicate easily. Effective communication enables care workers to understand and interpret the needs of individuals and also helps to form and maintain positive relationships. This unit is therefore, about appropriate forms of communication so that individuals are motivated and encouraged to communicate.
An important role and responsibility when caring for others is accurate record keeping. This unit will therefore, provide the opportunity for learners to develop accurate record keeping skills. This requires an awareness of the underlying principles and organisational recording policies and procedures.
